Peterson NCAA FOOTBALL Coaches bid a probable farewell to Peterson KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — He’s the closest thing to Barry Sanders that Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy says he’s ever seen. Iowa State’s Dan McCarney called him “truly an amazing football player.” To Texas coach Mack Brown, he’s one of the best running backs — ever. Now Adrian Peterson is prob- ably finished as a college player. Nevertheless, the coaches he had bedeviled with his speed, power, and shiftiness were full of praise, after the Oklahoma star broke his collarbone Oct. 14. “I grew up in this state. I watched Billy Sims, [Elvis] Peacock, all those guys,” Gundy Katrina Hawthorne/The Daily Iowan said on the Big 12 coaches’ Monday conference call.
